Lord -DAR NLEr supported the Address. It was 11° t • wonderlul that-the people were loudly calling for a Reform in*Parliament,. when a italic in seats . et as acknowledged to .exist . What would their - f-drdship s think if- peerages were a saleable commo dity ? - Neith er was it surprising that the people !newed distrust of . that House-of' Commons which defended and praised the Expedition to Walcheren. Such conduat was equal to a thousand arguments in favour ,of Reform. Lord Eimi.tNti and the LORD CHANCELLOR MU "lally explained. 'Lord GREY. made a short general reply. The P ri vileges of.P:irliatnent, as exercised- in the best of times of the Constitution, be conceived to be essen tial to the independence of Parliament.

Lords, on his motion for an In.quiry into the State of the Nation, was,'ns might beset.' pected, marked by a-considerable degree, of ability and pOtical knowledge, but it was not chfiracferiZed' by that. political sagacity. and those matured reflec tions which might also havebeen expected from the sentiments of a - Statesman who has had so ninth opportunity for experience, ,and who cannot but have ebserVed the events -whch have brought .the Cdminent of Ebrope to : 'SO 'deplorable a dependence on the will of the . French Ruler. The must satis-, factory part of the Noble Lord's Speech was that in which 'be admitted the necessity of those Parlia mentary Privileges which have been so bitterly as sailed by the zealots of Faction, and on which many , well.meaning persOns.have entertained doubts.. It was also satisfactory to find, that though the Noble Lord is still an advocate for Parliamentary Reform, he differed from those zealots who recommend rash and hasty proceedings for the accomplishment of such an object, and expressed his wishes that every measure tending to it, should be cautiously and gradually ap plied. The rest of the Noble Lord's Speeyh went, upon the topics usual with the Members of Oppost:- tion„ such as, the incapacity and improvidence of Ministers, &c.; and in all those topics We was so ably answered by the Earl of Lxv c 'lron, that we need only refer our Readers to the Speech of the latter Noble man for an accurate and comprehensive refutation. Lord GREY moved an Address to his Majesty, pray ing his Majesty to conclude an honourable peace whenever an opportunity °tiered, trusting 'that pro per means would ibe adopted for the defence of the Country, and lamenting the disasters of the late ex pedition,—praying for a repeal of the Orders in Council, fegretting that no steps of conciliation had been adopted towards Ireland, disapproving of the pte3ent system of Finance,• and finally requesting his Majesty to give effect to such measures as might be necessary to secure the- freedom of debate in Parliament. The following Bullqin w as issued this morning at halt -past twelve o'clock, upon the state of the Duke of 'CUMBERLAND. " His Royal Highness the Duke of Cob:3EIII.A ND has had some good sleep in the mght, and his wounds continue •to have a favourable appearance. (Signed) " HENRY HA LFORD. " EVERARL) HO IE." Yesterday, about half-past twelve o'clock, their MAJESTIES, PrinceSses AUGUSTA and ELIZABETH, arrived at the Queen's Palace from Windsor. At two o'clock his MAJESTY held a Private Levee, .which was attended by Mr. PERCEVAL, and most of the Cabinet Ministers. - The tol►owing were pre sented to the KING :.•••• Mr., Peel, upon his being appointed Under Secretary of State. 2 • The lion Captain Poulett, of his Majesty's ship Quebec, .on his return tioin NewtOundland, by the Earl of Poo lett. ord n Barnard, on his marriage, by the.

The ,QUEEN and Princesses went to Carlton-House to see the Duke of Cu MBERLM.iD, • and after dining with the Piince of:WALEs, returned to Windsor in the evening. Letters have been received from the Island of St,' Thomas to the sth of April, and frOrn Jamaica to . the same date. By the latter no intelligenee.of im portance was received. , In the advices from St. Thorna . 4, it is.said, that trade was rapidly increasing, and that important advantages might be , expetteti, by a proper dire lion of the attention of commercial adventurers in the present situation of the West In dies. •• . • The Brazen sloop of. war, Captain SIMHEARD, havingomboard his Grace the Duke of MANCHU.. :rua and Admiral ROWLEY, sailed from. Kingston (Jamaica) on the 13th April, on a cruize round the Island. A salute was'fired from Fort Charles.soon after the Brazen got under weigh. Several French privateers cruizing about the island, had taken several coasting vessels, and plun dered others. The Salamine privateer, of 20 guns, from lion 7 don, arrived at KiNston on the 11 th of April, un der charge of the Challenger sloop of war, from St. Domingo, where she was seized for having been detected for carrying on an- illicit trade. • A report obtained circulation in the course of yes terday afternoon, " that General Massena had gone over to the Spaniards with ihe greater part of the new, levy, at the head of which he lately marched to Bayonne." We could not, however, trace this ru mour to any authentic source, and we of course place no reliance upon' it. We feel satisfaction 'in stating, that the hopes of the safety of Mr. MUNGo PAnK ara strengthened by the last advises from Sierra Leone. The Govern ment of that Colony, in consequente of some in— formation they received, hired a schooner, which . they fitted out with every thing necessary :or the comfort and - assistance of this enterprising traveller, and sent it up the country under the direction at a merchant, who has been resident in Africa some years. ;:t)J hry I, co ti! , 0, • 5 •sary to) !osninol-0 CeSi , 110 i In WIJICI) 0 ,40 '.•- L 0 itio oc: r (4 1 , 11 110; e it t.' a t e . ,etc NPW J. . • • , . , , . , .

FIVE O'CLOCK, P.M.—Several homeward-bound vessels arenOW‘passing thiough the Down's for the River, with a fine favourable breeze. . • Yesterday a Meeting was held in the Borough of Southwark, for the purpose of considering at a Pe- Ction to the House of Commons for the release of Mr. GALE JONEs and Sir F. BURDETT, and fur a Reform in P.-isliament.' The buSineis was condua -ed in.the usual rummer at these meetings ; that is to bay, thst: - when those who disapproved of the con- Chia of Sir F. BURDETT, and the principles of. the Modern Reformers, attempted to speak, their voices -w'ere drowned in clamour, and every attempt..to_ ap peal to reason rendered_inereanal. It is hardly ne cessary to adkl, that the Petition was agreed to, and atter . waids a-Petition to his M;jesty, praying that he ..would dissolve Parliament, was proposed,and.agieed to. Mr. THORNTON was present, and delivered his sentiments, but Sir T. TURTON, the other 'Repre sentative of the Borough, did not attend the Meet- ing. Some Se% ale Gazettes, to the end of April, have been ,receivml in town. They contain a, pompous account of the funeral of M, Cabarus, the : late Mi nilter of Finance. ; and a Proclamation t o tie rebel lious Spaniards, in which an attempt is made to pre vail on them, to abandon their party, kept alke only by a few disaffected persons in thopay of England, and aet um to the bosom of King Joseph and his Go vernment, by wkrich they are promised protection. Some more American Papers have arrived, from one of which we have extra led a letter, stated to have been written by our late'Minister, Mr. Erskine, for the genuineness of which the Conductors of the American Pape: in question say they pledge them selves : WASHINGTON, AUG. 1, 1809.--•-I\gy dear Sir-- Your inquiries relative to the late arrangement would have been answered by me, you will have heard the fads, and have seen a part of my instrudions.. " From these you will perceive that I have de parted from then? letter of the, and have apparently not received the recognitions required'byMr. Can ning. What grounds I had for believing I had re ceived them in their spirit, time will chew. Your knowledge of the Constitution of the United States will enable you to see that the, President. had no power to give the recognitions a,ked; in a formal note, because it rests weep Congress to determine the attitude in which 'the United States ought io stand with - respect to foreign nations. My arrange ment was provisional, and founded upon an expec tation and• understanding • of what would be the course of measures which would be adopted by Congress. • " I know full well that it would be impossible as a preliminary - stipulation to call upon the United States to undertake to place herself in actual hostility with such powers as might execute decrees viola tion of the neutral rights of the United States; - but I had the most positive reasons for believing that such consequences would follow from the removal of the Orders in Council. "• My Government have undoubtedly a right to disavow my agreement, and they have done.every thing that became an •hnnou-ah,le nation to prevent any evil comequences arising to the citizens of, this countrytorn trusting that tne terms of the agree ment %voukt fuitided. - The only anxiety that I feel is, that no further bad • consequences mrty ensue ; and that the good understanding between flu- to o (3overnimmt F,, which I wai confident way qttick,y coining about, tnay trot be interrupted.

(this happened near 'Badozet), after killing and Wounding forty Frenchmen. We understand that it is-intended 46' send-large reinforcements to Portugal, and that drafts froin the , diffetert regiments in this country will be imme diately made. Most-of the private letters received from our countrymen in France, .by the last cartel, speak of the ardent desire expressed by the people of that country for the restoration of peace. The , sittiation of the English prisoners have been for sometime greatly ameliorated; their confinement is' now by no • means rigorous, and extra allowances of pro visions have been granted; Such of the women and children as are able, are permitted to work, and provisions of all kinds being plentiful and cheap, they are -enabled to live tolerably. well, and to ren der- the captivity of their husbands :less irksome. The prisoners who last came over experienced the most marked kindnesss trona the inhabitants of the places through which they passed, many Of whoth would continually shake them by the band, cun. gratulate ;hem on their return home, and express the fervent wishes for the return of peace. A letter from Gibraltar received by the last bon packet, contains 'a postcript, which states that a regiment of cavalry had lately reached that garri son trcim-Algesiras. About one-half of the privates were women, habited as 'men, who had recourse to this stratagem, the more securely to etreft their escape fiorn the enemy in that neighbour hood.
